well we will never know for certain. But Guzman was a 2-1 favorite to win the fight so you're in the in minority in that way of thinking

Guzman's Manager Nunez:
�I told Joan, I will not follow you into the ring. It�s not the right thing. It�s the wrong thing to do and I can�t go along with you on this. Your career is still brilliant. Your career will continue. But I must agree with the doctors that you cannot risk your life for one fight. If the doctors say you cannot go, I have to agree with them. We will move on from here.�

Yes, yes, I know he ****ed up, he added too much muscle from the strength training and the blame is on him, but some you guys are acting like he's Osama Bin Ladin. He ****ed up, moving up in weight, made a mistake, but he was game to fight despite being unhealthy. Cut him a bit of slack before assembling the lynch mob, he's no coward! He was a 2-1 favorite to win the fight and would have been a much needed payday for Guzman.

His cutman should've had some diuretics and laxatives with him.

What is the source of the first paragraph, I'd like to have a look-see.

As far as the manager goes, of course he is going to make statements that portray his fighter as a sympathetic figure in this ordeal. You'd be foolish to not expect as much.

I'm also sure that his manager understood the ramifications of pulling a no-show less than three hours before they are to take the stage. If you do that, your career and future is far from "brilliant".

From losing too much weight too fast by using unsafe methods of dehydrating. Guzman going into the ring as a mere shell of himself and risking serious injury wouldn't have been good for boxing.

Yeah, that's on the Vegas betting line. A lot of people were going to bet on Nate, which would have evened or even turned the odds in the other direction, but Nate told his supporters not to so he could run the odds up and make a lot of money on himself. He did the same thing in the Diaz fight, which explained the lopsided odds. He explained it would be different this time because Dominicans are more likely to place gaudy bets.

******** is a vice for Campbell.

dehydration?? I'm still disappointed though. ballooning up so high between fights! I mean c'mon dude I know you been inactive for a year but that's no excuse, especially when your profession is boxing! I think he owes his fans an apology.
